The Arkansas. Kansas & Colo
RADIO Railroad.
GETTING READY!

Col. C. D. Perry, President of the Ar
kansas, Kansas s. Colorado Railroad,
left Dodge City on Wednesday night, of
last week, for Chicago to confer with
some parties, with whom he had previ-
ously arranged, regarding the building of
the Arkansas, Kansas & Colorado rail-
road, line of road, which for the pres
ent is to traverse Ford county, making a
connection with the Rock Island railroad
at Bucklin, a point 30 miles southeast of
Dodge City, and ultimately to penetrate
Colorado.
On Saturday afternoon Col. Perry tel
egraphed to Col Chss. E. Gallagher that
he had completed arrangements for the
building of the road, and advised Col.
Gallagher to at once complete the sur
veying of the route and the laying of the
grade stakes. Accordingly the survey
ing party in the lead of Capt. Geo. w.
Potter, on Sunday evening left for a
point east of Ford City, and proceeded
to make the cross sections to point on
the south side of the river. 1t was ar
ranged that the grading should COM
mence as soon as the survey was COM
pleted, and that work will soon be under
progress.
The citizens Of Dodge have had some
misgivings about the building of the Ar
kansas, Kansas s. Colorado Railroad, but
we hope these distrusts have been re-
moved.
The early completion of this road gives
Dodge City competing line, and must
eventually bring about an increase in the
business and taxable wealth of the city.
The incorporators of this enterprise
are Dodge City men, and their energies
must be commended by every one who
has the citys interest at heart.
Speed the locomotive.
The board of county commissioners are
condeming the right of way for the Ar
kansas, Kansas s. Colorado Railroad,
where the same had not been previously
made to the company.

TO THE WORK.
BY LILLIAN EVANS.

Ho We who are chosen, to you do bring.
A message Of love from our Saviour and King,
Heed it WE'LL let its import fresh courage impart,
Incite each to action, and cheer every heart.
Look around DER the fields that to harvest are
white,
See the thousands astray from the pathway OF right
Enveloped in darkness, and shrOuded in gloom,
From their earliest days to the mouth:of the tomb
To you it is given to stand in the way,
And proclaim free salvation and pardon to-day,
To all who will heed the sweet message Of love !;
There's refuge on earth, and a mansion above.
Tell the lambs Of the flock that my sheltering arms
Shall receive and protect from all sinful alarms,
That my spirit shall guide and protect them from
sin,
In all its assaults from without and within.
Tell the little one all, that came from above,
To provide them home in a realm of love,
Where sin never enters, that sorrow and care
Are unknown in that haven OF life over there,
Tell the fallen love them, though cursed by sin,
Every trace Of my image without and within,
Yet my blood when applied can remove every stain
And cause them to shine in my likeness again.
Go after my sheep on the mountaing OF sin,
Do not fear, am with you, 60 gather them in
To the sheltering fold Of my infinite love.
Till gather them all to the mansions above.
But remember that like unto them we have been,
Though now ye are washed and redeemed from
your Gin,
Enrobed in the folds of my righteousness stand,
Till raised by my mighty onnipotent hand.
And when it is evening and shadows shall fall
Ger the fields We have reaped like funeral pail,
With the sheaves ye have gathered, I'll cause you
to stand
Triumphant at last in Immanuers land.

A barrel was blown over on Front street

there coming under the influence of a

OBITUARY

Uncle. Jimmy Martin is dead. He died
after q short illness, and no one more
than the writer regrets his demise. Uncle
Jimmy leaves host of friends who re-
greet his untimely departure, it is hoped,
however, to better land. If religion,
constant belief in the teachings of Christ,
is good, Uncle Jimmy has gone to the
promised land He was devOut, prayer
full and sincere, and the giver as well as
the taker of all good, must have the de-
parted spirit of Uncle Jimmy in his low
ing embrace While Uncle Jimmy pos
sessed no talents that commended him to
the worlds reputation, his familiar form
will be missed in Dodge City. He was
perhaps not companionable to every one
of his acquaintance. but he was not
credulous, and to those in whom Uncle
Jimmy had reposed confidence, to them
he gave his urbounded and implicit faith.
Uncle Jimmy Martin had his place in the
world. He performed his part hOnorably
and faithfully and honestly. Each one
has his share in life. Uncle Jimmy's
was a humble one, but it will be in a
higher plane in the other place, because
his sincerity was unselfish, his devotion
was like his simplicity. 1t was natural.
A simple, humble citizen of Dodge
City has crossed the pathway to the other
shore; and because he left no great deeds
to cherish his memory, he is no less de-
serving of our remembrance. He was
faithful on earth, he will be rewarded in
Heaven.
